Close button in about is defunct

[stefanct]

Closing die dialog via escape key and window title (X) works fine.

There is no close button in the about dialog:

What am I missing here?

Funny. This must be one of these cool Gnome features that eases the life of everybody... ;)

This is Debian's version (0.7.1-2 from stretch/stable) on Mate:

I haven't tried compiling it from source but I would not expect any change.

Well, looking at the code (https://github.com/innir/gtranscribe/blob/master/bin/gtranscribe#L182-L194)
there is nothing about a close button. I just can't make something work that doesn't exist in the code.

Also, the documentation does not reference any close function: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAboutDialog.html

I think it's actually Mate that's doing something strange here, not Gnome.

Could you edit /usr/bin/gtranscribe and add

about_dialog.set_default_response(Gtk.ResponseType.CLOSE)
Before line 194 (https://github.com/innir/gtranscribe/blob/master/bin/gtranscribe#L194) maybe that helps.

Nope, but the solution from here works:

    about_dialog.run()
    about_dialog.hide()

instead of

    about_dialog.show()

The documentation does mention a close button btw (and the run() function) but does a poor job explaining the behavior. I now feel a bit sorry that I brought up such a stupid thing... but OTOH we came up with a solution(?) eventually, cheers :)

[innir]

No need to feel sorry - happy there was an easy solution.
